I'm sure I'm not alone in my desire to roll out the red carpet and welcome Jerry Seinfeld back to our screens. Jerry, mate, you've been away for far too long. The master of the comic domain - who disappeared almost 10 years ago when his sitcom finished - is back with a vengeance this month. Of course, he didn't leave showbiz altogether when Seinfeld ended in 1998 - he went back to his roots, returning to the live stand-up comedy scene across the US, and even producing a behind-the-scenes DVD of one tour, Comedian, in 2002.

First up is the release not only of the DVD box set of Seinfeld's ninth and final season, but a limited edition, 32-disc set of the entire series. Now that's a whole lot of nothing right there. I think I need to make a confession here - I'm an avowed, unashamed fan of Seinfeld, which I consider to be the finest sitcom ever made (yes, even better than Frasier). And I'm thrilled to finally have every episode on DVD - especially my favourite, The Contest. Comedy gold - a half-hour show about masturbation that doesn't use the word once (and writer Larry David won an Emmy for his script). But there were other standouts among the 180 episodes made over the nine-year run: The Pilot, The Chinese Restaurant, The Puffy Shirt, The Outing (not that there's anything wrong with that), The Junior Mint, The Yada Yada and The Soup Nazi. And then there's 1998's The Finale, which is probably the last time US television ever saw such a huge audience for one show - an estimated 75m tuned in to see the amoral foursome get jailed ... for doing nothing. A recent so-called online "poll" in the UK named The Soup Nazi as the greatest episode ever. But that doesn't count, because voters were only given a list of five to choose from.

But wait, there's more. As well as a smorgasbord of Seinfeld sitcom, next month we get an animated Jerry (well, Jerry's voice in the body of an insect) in Bee Movie. And Seinfeld's done more than just give voice to the main character, Barry B Benson; he co-wrote the script and is also listed as one of the producers. He's even, unusually for the normally publicity-shy comedian, hitting the circuit to promote the film. So, is it any good? Well, yes, it is. Apart from the fact that DreamWorks can't seem to get anywhere near the quality of Pixar's computer animation, Bee Movie is chock full of great sight gags, typical Seinfeld one-liners and the observational humour that got him on TV in the first place.

So, over to you - tell us your favourite Seinfeld episodes, and whether you'll be buzzing off to see Bee Movie when it opens in the UK.
